I am wowed yet again by Pamela Fagan Hutchin’s storytelling and her Detective Delaney Pace series! Her Forgotten Shadow kept me on my toes, with my pulse racing, fearing the worst while hoping for the best as Delaney searches for a missing girl while trying to catch a killer. Whew! There is never a dull moment in this gripping and shocking book!
A storm is brewing above the town of Kearny and when a young teenager’s body is found covered in bruises and with a strange tattoo, Delaney is left scratching her head while wanting to dive into the investigation while tiptoeing around other officers. From the start, she knows this is not going to be an easy case, but she is strong, brave, determined and ready to dive in. With Leo helping, she hopes to solve the case ASAP!
I enjoyed the mystery in this case. I was fully invested in learning who and why young teenage girls are being taken. I also enjoyed seeing Delaney in mother mode as she balancing her work and personal life.
I loved the atmosphere of this book. I love the location, and how the elements played a part in this book as well. I also loved the tension between the characters in both their professional and private lives. The sense of dread and danger creep into the book and simmer just below the surface of the book.
Her Forgotten Shadow kept me on my toes and had me turning the pages! Plus, then the ending has me wanting more! I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next!
Wonderfully written, well plotted, perfectly paced, shocking and gripping, Pamela Fagan Hutchins has delivered yet again!
